Hi geeks,
My boyfriends best friend has a small business, his turn over is nearing the VAT threshold.
He employs 1 person, has his over heads of rent, & stock. He likes to put most of his profit back in to the business buying stock. So isnt taking a big wage.
What are the pros & cons of being VAT registered?
Ive read on here VAT can kill small businesses, so I think he should make sure he stays under, but I'm not sure why...
My partner (never been VAT registered) thinks its a good thing to go VAT registered as then he can claim the VAT back?
Id hate to see his business go under.
Xx
